# Is it good tone to post answers as images/links when no other option is at hand?

I've stumbled over this question, and saw that it had no answer to the "Implicit Function Theorem" part. Therefore, I wanted to address this in an answer. However, for that, I would need diagonal arrows in a commutative diagram, which seems to be not available in MSE (only through slick means such as drawing diagrams as arrays, which is quite unpleasant imho). Hence, I made the following answer in LaTeX:

and wanted to post it as an answer. This seems to be discouraged by MSE, but it seems to me that another option is unavailable. How to proceed?

• The best thing would probably be to post the two diagrams as images, but leave the rest as plain text. – Milo Brandt Nov 17 '15 at 1:45
• @MiloBrandt Great suggestion, silly of me. That indeed takes good care of this case, and many more analogous. However, what would be the position of the community if instead of posting the diagrams as images, I posted the entire link I made as an image, for example? You see, I really don't know what is aesthetically more appealing: having an entire image, or a "fragmented" answer. – Aloizio Macedo Nov 17 '15 at 2:00
